Mic Armon: I did attend the forum last night and it was very obvious that there were two camps, the Rally Right group (DFO has those identified plus Jeff Ward) and the their contenders. The RR group all had very scripted answers, some read them, but all were very much on the same page-who could look the most conservative and distance themselves from the federal govt.. The message that I got from this group is that they want to fight the Fed’s, but do not want to come up with solutions for how to implement education standards, the ACA, economic development or other pressing concerns. I thought that Ed Morse, Luke Malek and John Goedde all were very knowledgeable and had a plan for the future, but the two newcomers that really stood out were Greg Gfeller & Pat Whalen.

Question: How will the votes split for these three?
